iPhone Celebrity Update

Before the iPhone 3G made its way to retail outlets, celebrities like Hilary Duff and The Hill’s Spencer Pratt were both spotted with shiny and sleek black 3G’s. Duff had previously been a Sidekick LX user, while Pratt rocked with the first generation iPhone in earlier seasons of The Hills. After showing her love for the iPhone in her music video for “Spotlight,” I thought for sure that Jennifer Hudson would be sporting a 3G well before the rest of us. But by early October of this year, the famous female was still using her first iPhone—which is probably completely customized to her liking.

iPhone on 30 Rock

Tina Fey’s hilarious character Liz Lemon showed off an iPhone during the season-opener of 30 Rock. Lemon revealed that she needs to learn the iPhone ropes—we saw her have difficulty declining a call during an episode. Her latest iPhone obsession is proving to be an entertaining twist in the show.

Obama iPhone update

The Obama family has finally settled into their new diggs in Washington, and although the new president was able to keep his coveted BlackBerry, I can’t help but wonder if he’s going to get bored with the limitations placed on its use. To keep the poor tech-savvy man sane, I suggest giving him an iPhone filled with some fun apps and games. He can load it up with all of his favorite songs and movies for those long trans-Atlantic flights on Air Force One. Just a thought!
